Abstract
An electrically conductive cable for transmitting electrical signals is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the cable includes a first braided wire conductor having a cross-sectional height and cross-sectional width which is more that twice the cross-sectional height, a first dielectric sheath surrounding the first oval braided wire conductor. The cable also includes a second braided wire conductor which has a cross-sectional height and a cross-sectional width which are substantially identical to those of the first oval braided wire conductor, and a second dielectric sheath surrounding the second oval braided wire conductor. In the preferred cable design, the second oval braided wire conductor is disposed vertically above the first oval braided wire conductor to enhance performance characteristics of the cable. A metallic shielding tube may be provided surrounding the first and second conductors and their respective sheaths. In one embodiment, the conductors are hollow braided metal wire tubes with cross-sectionally oval dielectric insulators disposed centrally therein.
